THE BUZZ: Mojang has released update 1.2 for Minecraft, bringing with it number of new features.

The changes include a build height limit increase, Golems and wolf puppies. The full change list is below:

New jungle biome

Added ocelots

Added cats

Added iron golems

New AI for mobs

Tame wolves can have puppies

Villagers will have children if there is room in their village

New map height limit (256 instead of 128)

New items and blocks

Doors have been updated so that double-doors work better with redstone

Added rare drops for mobs

Many other minor tweaks and fixes

EGM’s TAKE: By far the best addition in 1.2 has to be the map height increase, imagine what the community will be able to build now that the have double the room to play with. Also the inclusion of Golems and improved AI will certainly help adventure map creators come up with new and more exciting areas. We’re looking forward to seeing what fans can create in 1.2.
